The other day, I saw a young woman wearing an elegant, unbuttoned jacket - displaying nothing but a bra top and leggings underneath. You're absolutely right, Marie-Anne. This is underwear. It's so vulgar!!!!
Hi Marie-Anne! I am happy to report that I don't even own a pair of leggings or a hoodie. Wearing these in public are cringeworthy. I totally agree with everything you say in this video! Merci!!
Wish there were more warm days. I do need the grubbies for outdoor work. Yes overalls and muck boots. Keep them in a bag til I can clean them. I do like my sundresses when there's nothing messy to do when hot out. Got a hat addiction now since light sensitive. Some cute ones. Sometimes light can trigger a migraine, vertigo or mini seizure. Lots of MRIs and only thing that could be is my popped neck disk from snowmobiling.
I teach and take ballet classes so I sometimes wear leggings for those activities but wear a top that covers hips and derrière. Typically an oversized button down. Once class is over, this outfit gets exchanged for a dress or a pair of jeans. I try to adhere to “there is a time and a place for everything “. I live in the southern US so it gets extremely hot and humid in the summer. Loose fitting dresses are not only more attractive but also much more comfortable. Great comparison video and such a lovely dress you used to illustrate your point 💙
I was trained in ballet for years as a child/teen and we had a uniform for class and now I wear leggings and appropriate tops for class but definitely not as clothes.
I don't wear active wear or workout clothes because I don't have a young, slim figure. But at age 63, I prefer to wear comfortable tee shirts and casual pants (not denim jeans or leggings) instead of dresses and skirts. I never worry about what others think of what I wear. My parents taught me to dress modestly, wear clean clothes that fit well, and dress "appropriately for the occasion".
@@floyarde7653 I agree completely. Too many women are stuck in the image that Leggings = Athleisure......which we all know was THE trend for several years before and peaking during global lockdown---until being beaten to a pulp when restrictions began to ease. For me anyway, they've morphed from "the latest thing' to wardrobe basic---especially during the cold weather months...WHEN STYLED CORRECTLY. IF they are WELL made and WELL fitting, they truly do flatter all body shapes. A lot of women simply aren't comfortable wearing them, which is fine. The Leggings trend was SO over-done, for such a long time. I mean, in every goofy print imaginable--from puppies to donuts to unicorns; you name it, it was featured on leggings, and displayed for all the world to see. And in such cheap, unsubstantial fabrics too. No wonder chic Vloggers like MarieAnne debunk them 'across the board'. Discernment is key for this type of clothing. But they will always have a place, if they are of high quality and properly fit the wearer. Just my two cents. :)
Honey, even when I was young, thin and trim I would NEVER have dressed like that! Now when the weather is cool I will rock my jeans and plaid flannel shirts! LOL
💗J'adore les bi-lingual subtitles! J'essaie to re-learn my high school French and c'est tres difficile! Your subtitles help me with everyday conversational language. Merci!💗
Your humour is always spot on, loved the hoodie with the Jedi bit. Stepping out of the "dark side" and going from 'cheap to chic' is the real power. Merci beaucoup, Marie-Anne.
The older I get the more I appreciate French culture. France has so much style in many disciplines; architecture; food; etiquette; clothing and so many more. I appreciate your attempts to bring back chic and style. Saying that though women’s lives are so very busy and many feel too exhausted. The more practical suggestions are very much appreciated. Just getting a dress as you illustrated is simple and practical. Thank you.
I agree with MarieAnne about how important it is to have, *at ANY age* , a "modicum of self-awareness and...high standards." Sadly, that is in short supply these days.
I like to dress with decorum. I know what I like. As I have said before,I like the classics in clothing. I especially enjoyed this segment(It was very open,and honest,as are all of Ms.Lecoeur's programs)!
The ability to inform and teach with humor is very special! Thank you, Marie-Anne! I too cannot believe how women dress now. I volunteer as an usher at a large theatre group, and we wear jackets, crisp white shirts, and black slacks. We look and feel professional. Then we greet the theatre patrons who are dressed in shorts, ripped jeans, sweatshirts, hoodies, etc. I remember, when I was much younger, that we dressed with care and style to attend the theatre. We also dressed to board planes and travel. I still do, and will do so when I visit Paris this coming December!!
I just found you and subcribed! You make so much sense to me. I'm a 66 year old woman and I've recently started elevating my clothing game. I feel and look so much better. And a bonus, my husband tells me I look cute.
Greetings from Slovakia over here:) Marie-Anne is wonderful, I've been following her channel for some time. I love when women are elegant and stylish. Marie-Anne definitely is and she is also inspirational and sweet. Thank you, Marie-Anne ❤️❤️
I have newly spotted online that women are wearing transparent dresses without a bra and with Tangas only. It may be a designed dress as well but even on a gorgeous bodies it's impression is cheap, very cheap and disgusting. There are so many ways to expose bodies or body parts with descent dresses and outfits. What is too much is too much. It may grab the male attention, but Noone of the men was asked what do they truly mean if it. Being sexy and descent means not to be cheap dressed and looking disgusting. It is not a comparison to outfits they are with too much bling or not fitted makeup. It is unpropriate too but far less than being fast naked.
I absolutely loved this and I agree! Sportswear is meant for workout. Unfortunately the athleisure trend has become so popular especially when lockdowns where many got used to it and I just hope they watch this video. Even when I was young and in great shape I never wore such pieces going errands like that, it feels so uncomfortable being so exposed. Loved how you transformed the outfit going 'from cheap to chic' by doing a few simple steps and the result is amazing! That's a lovely dress and you have a wonderful figure for your age, Marie-Anne. Merci and congratulations 🎉
Oh my goodness, my dear French friend if you were to take a trip back to the states with me and I would show you how people go outside dressed not just in yoga but in pajamas, short pajamas it’s like they don’t care. You would absolutely flip your wig… If you had one, lol thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. You know me I love my leggings, but I wear them only when I wear maybe a short dress on top or long tunic top on top and only when it’s cold.
I dress with sporty clothes for my walk and exercice at home. Hoodies, no matter if they are cashmere or cotton, they never look good. Especially for midlife women. Love your dress! 😍It's so easy to dress-up with a dress. No need to think about the top or the bottom matching. Just put it on and voilà! Thank you Marie-Anne! 🥰
When the weather warms up, dresses are soooo comfortable & make it so easy to get dressed quickly (one & done!). I also have always loved ballet flats & find them way more comfortable than sneakers.
I absolutely love those Mary Janes of yours, Marie-Anne. They're so cute. I've recently got similar ones in light grey and I'm looking forward to wear them when we get warm weather here in the UK 🤍
I was uncomfortable wearing leggings, a sports bra, and a hoodie in my early 20s and never did. For comfort, I buy stretch jeans and finished t-shirts that have finishes like puffy sleeves, lace, or embroidery. Lately, for lounging at home, I bought black wide-leg sweatpants from Victoria's Secret and wore them with a solid black v-neck t-shirt. I feel dressed and comfortable, but I would never wear those out in public. The daughter-in-law and her teenage daughter like to wear in public leggings, hoodies, crocs, and t-shirts, and I do not think I have ever seen them in anything different except at the wedding ceremony when she married my stepson.
I do not go out in leggings and a hoody, however i wear leggings under thick trousers and a jumper with a hoody on top in the house and also to pop to the shop up the street. I'm in my 60s and i feel the cold. Here in the UK my monthly energy bill is £227 and that's just with the heating on 5 hours a day. It is nearly May and it's only 7C outside. It's lovely to be smart and chic, but not ea sy when it is so cold.
I LOVE this video! I agree that chic is so much more beautiful, appropriate, and elegant. So much more self respecting and elevated. Thank you so much! 🌹🌹🌹
Thank you, Marie Anne! I am a Pilates instructor and I NEVER wear leggings on the subway on my way to teach my classes. But since I don't have much time to change before my class begins, I'll wear drawstring wide leg knit pants while I travel and slip them off beforehand. I don't like this solution really because I feel like I'm wearing baby clothes! This dress is a fabulous option. You always have the stylish solution!
I love this video! Thank you Marie-Anne. I couldn't believe you were wearing the legging and top outfit. The dress is a great idea instead. I also could never wear such a reveling cloth in public. Thank you for all your tips.
I love your sense of humor. This video was entertaining and very helpful. I agree with every word you said. My husband watched with me and he said you were beautiful even in ugly cloths. 😅❤
Absolutely agree. Leggings only under a skirt for warmth and a hoody is excellent for gardening. Lately I have been seeing too many bras as tops at shopping centres!
I have a small collection of dog-walking hoodies. If it’s colder than I expected or windy, those hoods are helpful. I also wear sports team hoodies especially when “my” teams are playing! It’s cold at the ice hockey arena and outdoor games. No, not chic, but practical!
Hoodies I use in the fall for yard work. I love them. As far as leggings, I use them with tunic dresses, (in the fall with flats, and in the winter with boots).Call me crazy, but I like the look. Enjoyed the video as always! Your a treasure!
A woman was wearing a bra as a top in our local Indian restaurant during a busy lunchtime a few weeks ago, and I was mortified on her behalf. She could've at least put a shirt on!
A lot of women wear them as a top here in the UK and even on airplanes! Imagine your bare skin touching those grotty seats. Eew! Planes are filthy. Even my daughter was mortified, 'They're wearing their bras as a top!' When we travel to a hot climate from Scotland we wait to change clothes in the lavs in the airport - more room.
I have a loose black cotton jumper that I wear over my yoga togs. I Just slip it on and I look pleasant and put together. Not glamorous, but for some reason, everybody asks me all the time from where I bought it.
That was a perfect!!! I never wear hoodies. I HATE WEARING THEM! But, I love how you explain and show better options for day wear after done working out at the gym or doing a session of yoga! A dress is brilliant! Thank you again Marie ❤ for another great tip!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊😊😊
Que padre encontrar canales como éste, mujeres de 60 y más compartiendo ideas de como lucir a la moda y cómodas, gracias Marie por tus ideas, me encantan tus videos, de buen gusto, prácticos, actuales y a la vez clásicos. Saludos !!
I have cancer, and the hoodie is a must - I use the zip-front options (the double mastectomy has made it hard to lift my arms), as my hair has fallen out and I get cold head. The chemo induces hot flashes - cold flashes without notice. It is hard to manage the body temperature. Please note I am wearing it with trousers or jeans, on top of a long-sleeved shirt or sweater. I also don't approve of the bra or leggings... Still love the hoodie for its versatility right now. Forgive me, give me some time, maybe after chemo, and into the summer. Perhapse you could give a styling session for those who have recently had mastectomies... We find that our clothes don't fit -- some will need to be donated, others will need to be altered, and for several months it will be hard to lift our arms. Hugs and best wishes.
I see them in the stores too but not with yoga pants but with leggings which are not quite the same, and I am tempted to tell them, do you think you look acceptable or decent like that in public? It's the same as wearing leotards/pantyhose/tights without the foot (footless). Often they are overweight too. It's the fashion industry-the owners of the stores and items that pushed this look.
I love your approach and good sense. But I do think many women who are more shapely than you would not look great in a long tube dress. I personally don’t wear them and I am about your size.I find that they grab my hips and upper thighs in a way that I don’t like. I agree that in good weather, you could put on a little shift dress. Another idea in colder weather would be to put on a tunic top and leave the leggings. That way, you’re not exposing private things. Love your shoe suggestions!
I am on holiday in Marrakesh and there are lots of French women tourists here, so I can cast my British eye over them. Thanks to years of Marie-Anne’s good advice, I can certainly hold my own. They don’t all get it right themselves, I can tell you!
Lol Marie, 100% agree although you do look good in your bra and leggings! Getting dressed is all about caring how you want to present yourself to the world. Some women don’t care. I don’t love the sneaker look with a dress but when being a tourist and walking 16000 steps a day I need my clean leather dress sneakers… ❤️ Love that dress.
The pointed toe shoes are amazing. I find as a size 14/16 US I have to search a little longer for upscale brands that have nice fit for my body type. A dear friend once taught me that I can look great at any size if the garment is classy and fits right. And I don't wear leggings outside of the gym...nope.😀
As an American, I can say the only reason I wear a hoodie and leggings is to cover my stomach area. I have digestive problems and my stomach will inflate to the point I look 7 months pregnant. It’s depressing.
Investigate some dietary changes and get some organic apple cider vinegar, the cloudy kind. I was skeptical at first but it really works. That bloat is a sign your liver isn't doing it's best work. Nothing to panic about...yet. I was having the same problem. If you can't handle a tablespoon of vinegar straight, eat a lot of fermented veggies and Greek yougurt, not necessarily together. It's been a game changer for me. It's already hot where I live so I've been making a lot of cole slaw. The cabbage is super healthy as are the carrots. I found olive oil mayo! It's what I eat most days. There's a problem with lettuce here, I don't need to go into. I love salad but uh,no, just NO! I'm not in the US.
Sorry to know about that. Getting checked by a gastroenterologist and find out about your liver condition as well as your blood sugar levels is recommended. Most health problems start in the gut and the liver is the only organ that can regenerate and heal following a proper diet, usually a low carbs, no sugar, no ultra processed/junk foods diet. Consulting a dietitian/nutritionist is also helpful because it's a matter of health more than aesthetics. Marie-Anne also has videos on how to style and "hide" a big tummy that are helpful. Take good care.
@@a.williams.scorpiopower thank you, my gastro’s advice was literally “I don’t know.” I am working on reducing “bad” carbs like pasta, rice, and fruit juice, and increasing fiber. I love broccoli 🙂. I miss having a flat belly!
@@smeag9280 you're most welcome and you're doing good. Broccoli is amazing. That's why a gastroenterologist was mentioned because having a big belly might indicate a fatty liver, if so don't panic as it can be fixed by a clean and consistent healthy diet but it takes time. Many doctors may seem "clueless" or "lazy" nowadays. Pasteurised fruit juices and pops are just "liquid sugar", it's much better drinking water and eat some fruit. "Vegetable" oils are highly inflammatory, extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil or pure butter is better. Replacing ice cream for natural yogurt or kefir is the best, your gut will love it. You deserve wellness, please take good care 🙏🏻🌷
You look GORGEOUS!! Love the dress and ballet flats , and you’re radiant fresh skin/ makeup and gorgeous hair colour/ cut. Wow- yes I totally agree, I never would wear a bra top by itself , never wear leggings and definitely not a hoodie! Especially at my age of 48. Non ! Can you please list some French lightweight moisturising foundations you recommend for mature ladies, I can’t find anything suitable over here in New Zealand.
Merci Clare - I sis a few makeup videos a little while ago watch here ruclips.net/video/97c2Ja9un70/видео.html and here ruclips.net/video/NCT4A-6JqH0/видео.html and here ruclips.net/video/LJD51fK5rXU/видео.html 😘
You look gorgeous in that dress 👗. I felt like buying it immediately, but... wool is a problem to me. I have a jumper with 5 % wool, and I can't stand it around my neck without a cotton scarf.....Such a pity. This dress looks amazing.
Never felt comfortable in revealing clothes even when I was young and I don’t find the tight leggings comfortable but I am comfortable with loose sweatpants and soft t shirts or sweatshirts
Marie-Anne, so many of us walk our dogs early in the morning and during the day. Could you kindly do a video on what chic, dog-walking attire looks like. I like to look chic, but also mindful that I'm with my dog and we may run into other dogs that may say hello to me along our walk! Many thanks!
There is a really funny RUclips segment of the very handsome actor Colin Firth (everybody's Mr. Darcy) getting stuck in a window at his home wearing only his undershorts and a pair of slippers. A kind-hearted neighbor managed to rescue him but not until the rest of the neighbors had gotten an eyeful. I'd rather not have that happen to me!!
I would NOT wear leggings any time, anywhere. Not even as nightwear. They don’t suit me. So why would I wear them? I was given a hoody with a brand name plastered all over the front (for an event at work) it is now in the donation bag. A shirt dress is my go to, or a wide legged pair of trousers and a thin wool jumper. I wear jeans to attend to the chickens and the garden😊
I have NEVER felt comfortable in an outfit like that! Especially now that I’m 60. I wore leggings with a long skirt for dance classes and the gym but when I was done I got in my car went home and changed. I love the dress solution. So easy and uncomplicated. It’s a great dress ❤❤❤ Brilliantly done Marie-Anne ❤
I do a dance class every sat ,so have to wear a dance outfit but I wear leggings ,short skirt and aerobic top all one colour , I put a trench over the top. Button up. I appreciate the video. Match my outfit to the trench and runners . It looks better than the dance outfit .But we dance 1 hour non stop . Then I towel off and on goes my trench . Love the video.
I will not be caught wearing my workout clothes outside the gym. I won’t even wear that to run quickly into the grocery store. If I’m leaving the gym and have somewhere else to go, you better believe I’ve got an outfit with me. Stop being lazy ladies! You can be quite comfortable in the right clothing. Have some pride in your appearance. I even wear a dress or something cute and comfy when I get a massage. My mother would never let me out of the house looking like that! A dress is perfect and comfy! The ballet shoes, or in summer a cute pair of sandals are just as comfy. I believe that we have gotten way too relaxed with dress codes and how we dress. It is a sign of respect when you dress well, it shows you respect yourself as much as you respect others.
Totally agree! And the silhouette of that dress is perfection. A fitted jacket, tailored shirt, high waist boot cut unembellished jeans and almost any foot wear (except trainers or flip-flops) - that's my never fail look for outside the house.
Dear Marie-Anne, thank you very much for this video! I totally agree with you! I'm 38 i never wear revealing clothes, my body is my private space. I only wear leggings in winter under ski wear, or under skirts /dresses. The need to reveal so much of the own body...so attention seeking-like..oh please nooo! ...That because of narcissism, not because of temperatur/workout ! If men can workout with t-shirts/tank tops, women can too!
Marie Anne: pitch this to lulu lemon and every other yoga clothing company… the apres yoga dress and ballet flats! I was at the airport last week: trying to find ANYBODY who had made an effort to dress with style. There were two Italian ladies…. And maybe two other American ladies… and a handful of men! But mostly everyone looked very grungy and comfy/messy! I was chic… jeans, striped t shirt and blazer with loafers. Your styling tips are easy and elevating! And… I invested in two new bras this last weekend! Ooh la la! Breast tissue changes as we age. (I am ashamed to say my old bras were 10 years old… not doing much for me!) So much thanks to you Marie Anne!

You have an incredible body for your age, even with the yoga outfit.
The dress is chic 😍, especially those trumpet sleeves...
I teach part time along with being a realtor and both of my carriers I see this cheep look all the time, it’s so sad,
The other day, I saw a young woman wearing an elegant, unbuttoned jacket - displaying nothing but a bra top and leggings underneath. You're absolutely right, Marie-Anne. This is underwear. It's so vulgar!!!!
😮
Sue Ellen Mischke!!
Some of the style videos here on RUclips have that as a way to style leggings.
It is, but people don't care today...
@emilyburton4095 I was thinking the same thing!
When we dress better, we behave better😇
👏
And feel better!
Sooooooooooo not true. Look at anyone who is a film star, or political figure -
Especially on airplanes
and get treated better (as an ordinary person I mean).
In Germany we would say: I would not wear this hanging dead over the picket fence.😂
😃👍
😂
😂
In the US we say, you wouldn't catch me dead in that
Can I borrow this to use in The States please?
Hi Marie-Anne! I am happy to report that I don't even own a pair of leggings or a hoodie. Wearing these in public are cringeworthy. I totally agree with everything you say in this video! Merci!!
👏🙌Yayyyyy Celia 😃
I love dresses in the summer time. They are instant chic. I get to wear bright fun colors and feel cool and comfortable.
👏
me too

I love this ❤ I really don’t like wearing shorts anymore. I have two pairs that I like but that’s it. I plan on dresses and skirts to keep cool

👏 A tunique de dance is very flattering for ballet dancers Joanne 😃
I too live in the Southern U.S., and concur 100% with your statement. :)
Wonderful. I find it very difficult to find a suitable top for exercise that is not too revealing. Everything is very revealing.
I was trained in ballet for years as a child/teen and we had a uniform for class and now I wear leggings and appropriate tops for class but definitely not as clothes.
@@maryokeefe5351 I wear a sports bra and then a loose lightweight tank top over it :)

They were right Linda 👍
You were raised well. :)
I also don’t think of what others think of me. But I dress for me and how I think of what I look like. It’s important to me to feel good.
What is wrong with wearing leggings and jeans. All you have to do is wear a long tunic or a button down shirt and sandals

Honestly, it’s getting so bad with (un)dressing around here that i see women wearing pajamas in stores! How much lower can we go?😮.
Once we hit rock bottom, we only can go up.😉
I’ve even seen them in pajamas with the attached feet and no shoes!🙂
😱
Only as part of a Halloween costume!
saw hotel guests wearing pyjamas in the breakfast room, hotel will never see me again …
I regularly dress this way to garden or clean house. I'd not leave the house dressed this way. I love the very elegant solution
Yes, my go-to pieces when I'm hanging out at home but no, I don't leave the house wearing them unless it's to exercise.
Maybe not leggins, but that "elegant" dress just causes one to look old and frumpy. I wouldn't wear it any place.
Honey, even when I was young, thin and trim I would NEVER have dressed like that!
Now when the weather is cool I will rock my jeans and plaid flannel shirts! LOL
when I was young I could wear anything l wanted to and still look good. About 45 years ago! Those were the good old days!
My Mum would have locked me up.

Leggings are dated wear, so five years ago along with scarves. 💯😅

I agree with MarieAnne about how important it is to have, *at ANY age* , a "modicum of self-awareness and...high standards." Sadly, that is in short supply these days.

I also like classic styles. May I ask where you shop/order from?
The ability to inform and teach with humor is very special! Thank you, Marie-Anne! I too cannot believe how women dress now.

I have newly spotted online that women are wearing transparent dresses without a bra and with Tangas only. It may be a designed dress as well but even on a gorgeous bodies it's impression is cheap, very cheap and disgusting. There are so many ways to expose bodies or body parts with descent dresses and outfits. What is too much is too much. It may grab the male attention, but Noone of the men was asked what do they truly mean if it. Being sexy and descent means not to be cheap dressed and looking disgusting. It is not a comparison to outfits they are with too much bling or not fitted makeup. It is unpropriate too but far less than being fast naked.

Oh my goodness, my dear French friend if you were to take a trip back to the states with me and I would show you how people go outside dressed not just in yoga but in pajamas, short pajamas it’s like they don’t care. You would absolutely flip your wig… If you had one, lol thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. You know me I love my leggings, but I wear them only when I wear maybe a short dress on top or long tunic top on top and only when it’s cold.
😱 maybe I need to go on tour Janice 😃
You would indeed be horrified, Anne-Marie!
That's horrible 😅
Thanks!
That is very kind of you MSM and it is much appreciated 🤗
I deplore petroleum based fabrics, tight clothes & especially stretchy pants!
I dress with sporty clothes for my walk and exercice at home. Hoodies, no matter if they are cashmere or cotton, they never look good. Especially for midlife women. Love your dress! 😍It's so easy to dress-up with a dress. No need to think about the top or the bottom matching. Just put it on and voilà! Thank you Marie-Anne! 🥰
A dress is so easy and so chic French Style 😃
When the weather warms up, dresses are soooo comfortable & make it so easy to get dressed quickly (one & done!). I also have always loved ballet flats & find them way more comfortable than sneakers.
👍
I absolutely love those Mary Janes of yours, Marie-Anne. They're so cute. I've recently got similar ones in light grey and I'm looking forward to wear them when we get warm weather here in the UK 🤍
They are so cute AW 😃
I was uncomfortable wearing leggings, a sports bra, and a hoodie in my early 20s and never did. For comfort, I buy stretch jeans and finished t-shirts that have finishes like puffy sleeves, lace, or embroidery. Lately, for lounging at home, I bought black wide-leg sweatpants from Victoria's Secret and wore them with a solid black v-neck t-shirt. I feel dressed and comfortable, but I would never wear those out in public. The daughter-in-law and her teenage daughter like to wear in public leggings, hoodies, crocs, and t-shirts, and I do not think I have ever seen them in anything different except at the wedding ceremony when she married my stepson.
Send them the link to my video Morgan 😉
Thank your blessings that you dont see them often enough.
I couldn’t possibly wear leggings and a sports bra. No , definitely not. Totally agree with you
I do not go out in leggings and a hoody, however i wear leggings under thick trousers and a jumper with a hoody on top in the house and also to pop to the shop up the street.
I'm in my 60s and i feel the cold. Here in the UK my monthly energy bill is £227 and that's just with the heating on 5 hours a day.
It is nearly May and it's only 7C outside. It's lovely to be smart and chic, but not ea sy when it is so cold.
I am in the Northeastern US and have the same problem. I need an anorak and real boots 3 to 4 months of the year.
I have many videos on chic winter outfits Mary 😃
I myself need to dress for the cold up to 8 months a year. Heavy lined leggings can be nice and warmer than jeans. I hate the cold 🥶.
Thermal opaque tights are a thing - in Lidl! And they are great for cold legs.
@@Happyheretic2308 Too thin. Maybe as a layer. There are all different types of leggings.
I LOVE this video! I agree that chic is so much more beautiful, appropriate, and elegant. So much more self respecting and elevated. Thank you so much! 🌹🌹🌹
❤️
Hah you made me smile, i saw the label at the waist where you are going to return them ... cannot blame you, great video!
Thank you, Marie Anne! I am a Pilates instructor and I NEVER wear leggings on the subway on my way to teach my classes. But since I don't have much time to change before my class begins, I'll wear drawstring wide leg knit pants while I travel and slip them off beforehand. I don't like this solution really because I feel like I'm wearing baby clothes! This dress is a fabulous option. You always have the stylish solution!
🤗
I love this video! Thank you Marie-Anne. I couldn't believe you were wearing the legging and top outfit. The dress is a great idea instead. I also could never wear such a reveling cloth in public. Thank you for all your tips.
It took some courage to put it on and record myself Cata 😬
I love your videos Marie-Anne, always entertaining and very accurate.
Merci Brandy x
I love your sense of humor. This video was entertaining and very helpful. I agree with every word you said. My husband watched with me and he said you were beautiful even in ugly cloths. 😅❤
Merci Rose Marie and merci to your husband too 🤗
Great dress! Thanks for the link. Unfortunately the dress cannot get shipped to the United States.
Sorry about that 🙁
Thank you for the French over-titles.
You are very welcome x
Right on Marie-Anne. Love your hair with highlights.
Merci Janice x
perfect! a solution that keeps active wear where it should be!
👍
Great video! Love your classy advice and also your sense of humour! X
Merci Julie x
A good chuckle on a Sunday Night for me. Thanks Marie-Anne,!
Happy to add some humour to your weekend Yvonne 😃
Absolutely agree. Leggings only under a skirt for warmth and a hoody is excellent for gardening. Lately I have been seeing too many bras as tops at shopping centres!
I have a small collection of dog-walking hoodies. If it’s colder than I expected or windy, those hoods are helpful. I also wear sports team hoodies especially when “my” teams are playing! It’s cold at the ice hockey arena and outdoor games. No, not chic, but practical!
Also practical when getting out of your swimming practice, it is cold and a fine drizzle meets you in the street... 😂
Love it, Marie-Anne. You're so right, as always. And a reminder, in case we needed it, that a good sense of humor is the most stylish thing of all. 😊
Merci Burgh 😘
Hoodies I use in the fall for yard work. I love them. As far as leggings, I use them with tunic dresses, (in the fall with flats, and in the winter with boots).Call me crazy, but I like the look. Enjoyed the video as always! Your a treasure!
A woman was wearing a bra as a top in our local Indian restaurant during a busy lunchtime a few weeks ago, and I was mortified on her behalf. She could've at least put a shirt on!
😱
A lot of women wear them as a top here in the UK and even on airplanes! Imagine your bare skin touching those grotty seats. Eew! Planes are filthy. Even my daughter was mortified, 'They're wearing their bras as a top!' When we travel to a hot climate from Scotland we wait to change clothes in the lavs in the airport - more room.
I have a loose black cotton jumper that I wear over my yoga togs. I Just slip it on and I look pleasant and put together. Not glamorous, but for some reason, everybody asks me all the time from where I bought it.
Love the dress. I'm a sucker for bell sleeves.
Such a dress would be lovely to wear to and from your session 😃
I love the dress!
That was a perfect!!!
I never wear hoodies. I HATE WEARING THEM! But, I love how you explain and show better options for day wear after done working out at the gym or doing a session of yoga! A dress is brilliant!
Thank you again Marie ❤ for another great tip!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊😊😊
You are very welcome Happy x
That dress w those blue shoes is gorgeous ❤
💙
I’m going to try long cotton dress maybe over shorts this summer.
🙌
I've been doing this for eons. Hubby doesn't want me to go out and be tooo sexy! :)
Que padre encontrar canales como éste, mujeres de 60 y más compartiendo ideas de como lucir a la moda y cómodas, gracias Marie por tus ideas, me encantan tus videos, de buen gusto, prácticos, actuales y a la vez clásicos. Saludos !!
😘
You are absolutely right again Marie- Anne.x
I have cancer, and the hoodie is a must - I use the zip-front options (the double mastectomy has made it hard to lift my arms), as my hair has fallen out and I get cold head. The chemo induces hot flashes - cold flashes without notice. It is hard to manage the body temperature. Please note I am wearing it with trousers or jeans, on top of a long-sleeved shirt or sweater. I also don't approve of the bra or leggings... Still love the hoodie for its versatility right now. Forgive me, give me some time, maybe after chemo, and into the summer.
Perhapse you could give a styling session for those who have recently had mastectomies... We find that our clothes don't fit -- some will need to be donated, others will need to be altered, and for several months it will be hard to lift our arms.
Hugs and best wishes.
I hope you make a full recovery very soon Carrie 🙏
@@MarieAnneLecoeur Thank you
I went to the grocery store this morning and everyone had their yoga outfits on.
I see them in the stores too but not with yoga pants but with leggings which are not quite the same, and I am tempted to tell them, do you think you look acceptable or decent like that in public? It's the same as wearing leotards/pantyhose/tights without the foot (footless). Often they are overweight too. It's the fashion industry-the owners of the stores and items that pushed this look.
😱
Horrible. I am so sorry you have to see all of that 😅
I see that a lot as well, since there's a workout studio two doors down from the grocery store.
Can I ask where do you live? Here in Italy no one older than 20 could ever think to go around like that!!!
I love your approach and good sense. But I do think many women who are more shapely than you would not look great in a long tube dress. I personally don’t wear them and I am about your size.I find that they grab my hips and upper thighs in a way that I don’t like. I agree that in good weather, you could put on a little shift dress. Another idea in colder weather would be to put on a tunic top and leave the leggings. That way, you’re not exposing private things. Love your shoe suggestions!
As I say in the video just choose a dress that suits and flatters you the most 😃
Indeed. Polish, sophistication, and finesse seem to be in very short supply in 2024.
💯👍
Merci Marieann, efficient as usual!
Some people will wear anything 😂! Thank you, Marie- Ann !
Indeed they will Pam 🙁
I am on holiday in Marrakesh and there are lots of French women tourists here, so I can cast my British eye over them. Thanks to years of Marie-Anne’s good advice, I can certainly hold my own. They don’t all get it right themselves, I can tell you!
That is wonderful idea . Nobody said a such thing before. How a good idea! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
😘
You’re rockin Marie-Anne
😎
Suggestion for a future youtube cast: with summer coming, how would we dress for an outdoor garden party/picnic?
I will see what I can do Ms B x
Agree 100% but must say you look wonderful Marie-Anne! You're an inspiration!
Merci Shania x
Lol Marie, 100% agree although you do look good in your bra and leggings! Getting dressed is all about caring how you want to present yourself to the world. Some women don’t care. I don’t love the sneaker look with a dress but when being a tourist and walking 16000 steps a day I need my clean leather dress sneakers… ❤️ Love that dress.
I agree she does look good but she has so much class ❤
Merci Amelia x
Merci Ms P x
You look fab over 60. Seen some over 60s wear the figure hugging clothes for their fitness videos. To make a point that can wear what they want.
😘
Only on my way to and back from the gym! Never in broad daylight. But I am an anomaly here in NYC. I despise athlesuire .
😘
Me, too, San Francisco 🙂
I love dresses, they are so easy to wear.
👍
Standards have declined immeasurably.
You are so right Marie you are so smart and classy
🤗
Miss Marie-Anne the dress is totally chic darling and comfortable too nice work my Beautiful Teacher l love you 😘❤️
Merci Hector
You're welcome my sweet queen
You are absolutely right 👍
Thank you ❤️
😘
LOL Marie I am still laughing about the sentence you got a RUclips not a onlyfans - you are great - love your channel
😃👍
The pointed toe shoes are amazing. I find as a size 14/16 US I have to search a little longer for upscale brands that have nice fit for my body type. A dear friend once taught me that I can look great at any size if the garment is classy and fits right. And I don't wear leggings outside of the gym...nope.😀
Your friend was right 😃👍
As an American, I can say the only reason I wear a hoodie and leggings is to cover my stomach area. I have digestive problems and my stomach will inflate to the point I look 7 months pregnant. It’s depressing.
Investigate some dietary changes and get some organic apple cider vinegar, the cloudy kind. I was skeptical at first but it really works. That bloat is a sign your liver isn't doing it's best work. Nothing to panic about...yet. I was having the same problem. If you can't handle a tablespoon of vinegar straight, eat a lot of fermented veggies and Greek yougurt, not necessarily together. It's been a game changer for me. It's already hot where I live so I've been making a lot of cole slaw. The cabbage is super healthy as are the carrots. I found olive oil mayo! It's what I eat most days. There's a problem with lettuce here, I don't need to go into. I love salad but uh,no, just NO! I'm not in the US.
I am so sorry to hear of your problems Smeag - I hope you and your doctor can find a solution for you x
Sorry to know about that. Getting checked by a gastroenterologist and find out about your liver condition as well as your blood sugar levels is recommended. Most health problems start in the gut and the liver is the only organ that can regenerate and heal following a proper diet, usually a low carbs, no sugar, no ultra processed/junk foods diet. Consulting a dietitian/nutritionist is also helpful because it's a matter of health more than aesthetics. Marie-Anne also has videos on how to style and "hide" a big tummy that are helpful. Take good care.
@@a.williams.scorpiopower thank you, my gastro’s advice was literally “I don’t know.” I am working on reducing “bad” carbs like pasta, rice, and fruit juice, and increasing fiber. I love broccoli 🙂. I miss having a flat belly!
@@smeag9280 you're most welcome and you're doing good. Broccoli is amazing. That's why a gastroenterologist was mentioned because having a big belly might indicate a fatty liver, if so don't panic as it can be fixed by a clean and consistent healthy diet but it takes time. Many doctors may seem "clueless" or "lazy" nowadays. Pasteurised fruit juices and pops are just "liquid sugar", it's much better drinking water and eat some fruit. "Vegetable" oils are highly inflammatory, extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil or pure butter is better. Replacing ice cream for natural yogurt or kefir is the best, your gut will love it. You deserve wellness, please take good care 🙏🏻🌷
You look GORGEOUS!! Love the dress and ballet flats , and you’re radiant fresh skin/ makeup and gorgeous hair colour/ cut. Wow- yes I totally agree, I never would wear a bra top by itself , never wear leggings and definitely not a hoodie!
Especially at my age of 48. Non !
Can you please list some French lightweight moisturising foundations you recommend for mature ladies, I can’t find anything suitable over here in New Zealand.
Merci Clare - I sis a few makeup videos a little while ago watch here ruclips.net/video/97c2Ja9un70/видео.html and here ruclips.net/video/NCT4A-6JqH0/видео.html and here ruclips.net/video/LJD51fK5rXU/видео.html 😘
You look gorgeous in that dress 👗. I felt like buying it immediately, but... wool is a problem to me.
I have a jumper with 5 % wool, and I can't stand it around my neck without a cotton scarf.....Such a pity.
This dress looks amazing.
Did you ever try merino wool? I cannot wear wool because it feels extremly itchy but I love merino wool.
@@werweissdasschon9776
AGREED & cashmere as well. 😊
Beautiful dress!!!
You are my lucky charm. I have used your advice for the past few years and it has been bringing me fashion success.
❤
Yayyyyyy 🙌
Never felt comfortable in revealing clothes even when I was young and I don’t find the tight leggings comfortable but I am comfortable with loose sweatpants and soft t shirts or sweatshirts
👍
Marie-Anne, so many of us walk our dogs early in the morning and during the day. Could you kindly do a video on what chic, dog-walking attire looks like. I like to look chic, but also mindful that I'm with my dog and we may run into other dogs that may say hello to me along our walk! Many thanks!
I will see what I can do Louisa
I always say - would not be washing my windows wearing that!😂
😃
There is a really funny RUclips segment of the very handsome actor Colin Firth (everybody's Mr. Darcy) getting stuck in a window at his home wearing only his undershorts and a pair of slippers. A kind-hearted neighbor managed to rescue him but not until the rest of the neighbors had gotten an eyeful. I'd rather not have that happen to me!!
The four bottoms picture and the little "boop" sound when it pops onto screen.🤣
😃
I would NOT wear leggings any time, anywhere. Not even as nightwear. They don’t suit me. So why would I wear them? I was given a hoody with a brand name plastered all over the front (for an event at work) it is now in the donation bag. A shirt dress is my go to, or a wide legged pair of trousers and a thin wool jumper. I wear jeans to attend to the chickens and the garden😊
👏
I live on the Gold Coast Australia. This is soooooo common attire. Love you. Thanks for the laughs 😂
😘
I have NEVER felt comfortable in an outfit like that! Especially now that I’m 60. I wore leggings with a long skirt for dance classes and the gym but when I was done I got in my car went home and changed. I love the dress solution. So easy and uncomplicated. It’s a great dress ❤❤❤ Brilliantly done Marie-Anne ❤
😘
Looking good. I like the lighter hair color and the lighter lipstick
I don't like leggings and i would never wear a bra in public, of course, but i don't have any issues with that hoodie. I'd wear that.
I do a dance class every sat ,so have to wear a dance outfit but I wear leggings ,short skirt and aerobic top all one colour , I put a trench over the top. Button up. I appreciate the video. Match my outfit to the trench and runners . It looks better than the dance outfit .But we dance 1 hour non stop . Then I towel off and on goes my trench . Love the video.
😘
I will not be caught wearing my workout clothes outside the gym. I won’t even wear that to run quickly into the grocery store. If I’m leaving the gym and have somewhere else to go, you better believe I’ve got an outfit with me. Stop being lazy ladies! You can be quite comfortable in the right clothing. Have some pride in your appearance. I even wear a dress or something cute and comfy when I get a massage. My mother would never let me out of the house looking like that! A dress is perfect and comfy! The ballet shoes, or in summer a cute pair of sandals are just as comfy. I believe that we have gotten way too relaxed with dress codes and how we dress. It is a sign of respect when you dress well, it shows you respect yourself as much as you respect others.
Style has become far too relaxed and casual Vivian🙁
This is eye opening for me, Marie-Anne. 🔥 thank you!
You are very welcome Jules x
Marie Anne you are so right about hoodies and leggings! by the way, your figure is beautiful!
Merci Lucja x
Totally agree! And the silhouette of that dress is perfection. A fitted jacket, tailored shirt, high waist boot cut unembellished jeans and almost any foot wear (except trainers or flip-flops) - that's my never fail look for outside the house.
👏
Dear Marie-Anne, thank you very much for this video! I totally agree with you! I'm 38 i never wear revealing clothes, my body is my private space. I only wear leggings in winter under ski wear, or under skirts /dresses. The need to reveal so much of the own body...so attention seeking-like..oh please nooo! ...That because of narcissism, not because of temperatur/workout !
If men can workout with t-shirts/tank tops, women can too!
💯👍
Marie Anne: pitch this to lulu lemon and every other yoga clothing company… the apres yoga dress and ballet flats!
I was at the airport last week: trying to find ANYBODY who had made an effort to dress with style. There were two Italian ladies…. And maybe two other American ladies… and a handful of men! But mostly everyone looked very grungy and comfy/messy! I was chic… jeans, striped t shirt and blazer with loafers. Your styling tips are easy and elevating!
And… I invested in two new bras this last weekend! Ooh la la! Breast tissue changes as we age. (I am ashamed to say my old bras were 10 years old… not doing much for me!)
So much thanks to you Marie Anne!
You are very welcome Vivien - airports are a hot bed of bad dressing 😬
I wear a hoodie, leggings and t-shirt to the gym, pilates , zumba
That dress is beautiful
💙
